"Within this group of stars lies the last refuge of the Chiss people should our forces ever be overwhelmed in battle. It is impregnable, impossible for even a determined enemy to quickly or easily penetrate, with war vessels and firepoints scattered throughout. There are also other surprises that nature itself has created for the unwary."
―Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano[5]

The Redoubt, formally the Chiss Redoubt, was a remote star cluster that was located in Chiss Space, near the Utegetu Nebula, and that contained at least ten habitable planets and hundreds of stars. It contained the Brask Oto Command Station system, in which was the Brask Oto Command Station.[1] Discovered at some point before the year 178 BBY[6] and claimed by the Chiss, the cluster was to be used as a refuge in the event that the Chiss Ascendancy was overrun by any foreign invader. Exploration of the Redoubt by the Chiss Defense Fleet only began in earnest around[5] 27 BBY.[7] The Redoubt contained high radiation levels, and the proximity of stars to each other made navigation difficult. There were only a few safe routes into The Redoubt, and they were all guarded by Chiss fortifications, which prevented foreign intrusions. A planetoid in The Redoubt was the resting place of the ill-fated Outbound Flight Project, which crashed there in[5] 27 BBY.[7]

  6. The Essential Reader's Companion dates the events of Survivor's Quest to 22 ABY. Survivor's Quest establishes that the Chiss began studying the Redoubt over two hundred years before the events of the novel, therefore the Redoubt must have been discovered some time prior to 178 BBY.
